Green Dot Stables set to reopen in 'Corktown Shores'

The Green Dot Stables, which closed its doors about a year ago, is reopening under new ownership and has a completely revamped menu.

The restaurant is located just outside of Corktown in an area owner Jacques Driscoll,30, calls 'Corktown Shores.'

"At first we thought this was in the middle of nowhere but the more we thought about it, the more we thought it could be really cool," Driscoll said.

The 2,700 square-foot restaurant located at W. 2200 Lafayette St. seats 80 guests. A liquor license transfer is still in the works. Driscoll says the restaurant will serve domestics and craft beers.

The menu has 20 types of sliders, from basic cheeseburgers to duck sliders. It will also serve soups, salads and seven types of French fries including truffle, herb and the Canadian-favorite putine.

Driscoll said he has been amazed by all of the help he is receiving from other business owners in the area.

"It's been incredible and is by far the most impressive thing about Detroit," Driscoll said. "Someone always knows someone who can help out from friends to friends of friends to people I have never even heard of."

Driscoll said he hopes to have the Green Dot Stables open by the end of January.
